4 Air Transportation Mark Day, KBT Air Transportation Co-Chair presented the KBT Air Transportation Committee s proposed Legislative policy. In order to be consistent with the current U.S. Department of Transportation/FAA policy KBT urges the Kentucky General Assembly to follow KRS and fully appropriate the fees collected from the sale of aviation fuels to develop, rehabilitate and maintain airport facilities with these funds. The Federal Aviation Administration s current authorization will expire March, KBT is supportive of a timely multi-year reauthorization bill to ensure the continued, safe operation of all of Kentucky s airports. Mark Day moved to approve the statements. Barry Barker seconded and the motion carried. Scholarship Committee Phil Annis informed the group that the Scholarship Committee met on November 18 at Mountain Enterprises. Those present at the meeting were Clint Goodin, Phil Annis, Greg Hensley, Crissy Fiscus, Derek Guthrie, Chad LaRue, and KBT staff. A copy of the Scholarship Committee proposal may be found in the master minutes. The Board discussed the proposal. A question was asked regarding whether or not the scholarship was for those pursuing a transportation specific degree or field of study. The answer was no the scholarship could be awarded for any field of study. It was noted that the applicants must be affiliated with a member company. A question was asked regarding the selection committee and whether that committee would be appointed by the Board. The funding source was questioned. It was noted that the scholarship would be funded from KBT s operating account. This would be a budgeted item. The Scholarship Committee is not married to the amount. A question was asked regarding whether or not the individual would have to attend a Kentucky institution. There is no specific field of study requirement nor is there a requirement that the individual attend a Kentucky based institution. A member suggested the formation of a separate foundation to handle the scholarship. Another member suggested using a third party to review applications. One member noted that it wasn t that long ago that KBT was financially struggling. Hensley noted that the scholarship program is a good way to give back to the community and to create value for KBT membership. Phil Annis moved to table this discussion to the next Board meeting to give the Committee an opportunity to review the comments. Charles Lovorn seconded and the motion carried.

5 David Beck noted that KBT should determine an amount needed in reserves, and set aside that amount to be sure the organization could operate should there be a drastic reduction in funding. Chair s Report Clint Goodin thanked the members for attending. He noted that the Conference events would begin soon and again encouraged everyone to visit with the exhibitors and thank the sponsors. Executive Director s Report Juva Barber asked the group if they would be interested in going to Keeneland for the April meeting. A vocal majority indicated this was a positive move. Staff would work with Keeneland to secure meeting space and track seats. Barber also noted that the primary area of focus this legislative session would be the Transportation Budget and the P3 legislation. Other Business Alan Bernard and Ron Gray thanked the Board. Both gentlemen stated they enjoyed their KBT Board experience and appreciated the time spent with the group. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Juva S Barber
